Pixelated Avatar Generator
Pixelated Avatar Generator is a Haskell library and application for generating pixelated avatar images from seed values.
import Graphics.Avatars.Pixelated
createAndSaveAvatar :: String -> FilePath -> IO ()
createAndSaveAvatar s path = saveAvatar avatar path
where avatar = scaleAvatar 32 $ generateAvatar seed
seed = createSeed s
Library
Pixelated Avatar Generator is a library which provides functions and data types for generating, altering, and saving pixelated avatars.
For information on how to use the library, see the documentation for the Graphics.Avatars.Pixelated
module.
Documentation
The documentation for the latest release of the library can be found in the library’s Hackage entry.
Documentation of the development versions of the library can be generated by running the following command in the main directory of the project:
$ stack haddock
The generated html documentation can then be found in the following directory:
.stack-work/dist/x86_64-linux/Cabal-1.22.5.0/doc
Executable
An example executable program that uses the library is also provided. It creates an avatar from a given seed string and saves the created .png
image to a given file location.
The executable can be compiled by running the following command:
$ stack build
The executable can then by run by running it with stack exec
and providing it the desired filepath of the output file including the .png
extension and a random seed string.
$ stack exec pixelated-avatar-generator image.png "Hello, World"
